NSB Steve Erkel moment...Oops! Did I do that?

Okay, I know it's just a girdle and not very exciting, but it's my first and I'm tickled. I thought about and planned this purchase (go me) and was super excited that it came in at the lowest end of my bid.

Here's where it gets "pretty" ugly.
I had an NSB free pass for one dressy dress and was feeling really empowered about walking away from a few. When this pink confection came up, I indulged. I blogged about it...noting that I'll be so broke I'll have to wear it at home whilst dining on Ramen Noodles!

I would say "tomorrow is a new day" for NSB...but it IS tomorrow. :eek:

They're not a matched set but they're close! And they were eBay bargains. Oh eBay, how I love you and hate you. :)

Well played, Madame...well played. :eusa_clap

I love this pink dress! And the color is perfect for the upcoming spring season, which I am so ready for by the way.
You may be eating noodles, but at least you would be eating in style. ;)

Skidoo, that pink dress is amazing! I'd put it on and dance in my living room whilst dining on said ramen. Look at it this way, eventually you'll forget how much you spent and you'll still have the dress to enjoy. :D

Thanks girls.

I have a super weakness for these 1950's party dresses. I'll have to go to VLV one year just so I can wear them! Do plane tickets and a hotel room count as "accessories" for a dress? ;)

I like the way Goldwyn Girl thinks!!

23Skidoo - that dress is lovely - please post a picture of you wearing it - it's got easter and springtime written all over it!!

I've been doing pretty well at selling and using that money to buy wishlist items. Today I purchased a jacket that has sat in my kaboodle wishlist for two months - it was still available and i still wanted it - yay wishlists!!

Inky...great little topper jacket! Very 40's and I adore Grey! It was truly meant to be yours. Congrats for making NSB really work for you!

Hmmm...I should send you the link to a ...noooo, that would be enabling. ;)

Love, love, love that perfect pink confection of a dress.

Harpy, are those dress clips?

Nah, they're definitely clip-on earrings, but could probably work as dress clips too as long as you were careful, the grip's not as tight as the dress clips I've seen. I will have to check my jewellery component suppliers and see if you can still get those little rubber grips/cushions that go through the hole in the clip.

Inky, that coat is fantabulous! Isnt it just the best to save and get what you really want!?

LD

Thanks 23Skidoo and LD, I really love it and it feels like it's so me!

23Skidoo - enable away - I am strong!! (and really good at deleting lately)

LD - it sure is - it's also interesting that it's enabled me to refine my wants versus my needs over the last months of NSB - this has been the "easiest" so far. The free pass just doesn't work for me - I need to "earn" them and it makes me wait.
